C163 (1/2)
”Lord General, the bandits have already charged into the main camp, I am afraid they are already unable to defend, let us quickly retreat.”
Just at this moment, Yuan Shao and his janissaries had arrived. His body was already dyed in blood, and it was unknown if it was his or his. However, the treasured sword in his hand had quite a bit of blood stuck to it. His face became even paler, and the hand holding the sword was also trembling.
”Retreat immediately!”
Huangfu Song sighed to the sky and gave the order to retreat. Although the imperial government's army was an elite division, it was too late to form a formation. The soldiers could only fight their own battles and had no way of forming their own force. If a few of the Generals had stood up and shouted loudly, then the result would have been different, even if they had to fight to open up a path of blood. It was a pity that the imperial army lacked such great generals who could stabilize the morale of the troops.
”Understood.”
Yuan Shao agreed and galloped off on his horse to collect the broken troops. Under the protection of several hundred of his personal guards, Huangfu Song rushed out of the camp. At this time, the entire official army camp was already lit with fire, the sounds of killing could be heard from all directions, many of the Court officers s were running around in panic, looking extremely panicked.
After running out of the official camp, Huangfu Song took the lead, with Yuan Shao and the other generals following closely behind. Behind the generals, the chaotic Court officers surged out like a tide, rushing straight towards the southern wolves. The pitiful tens of thousands of Imperial army s, only around ten thousand of them were able to escape. Most of them were trapped in camps, and either died in battle or were trampled to death. The cold wind howled, blowing the trees to sway back and forth. It pierced the pedestrians like needles, causing the snow to dance in the air. The entire land was covered with snow, and other than the trees, there was nothing else to be seen in the vast wasteland.
Suddenly, from the depths of the snowy plains, a group of cavalrymen appeared. They galloped forward amidst the wind and snow, the rolling iron tide stirring up snow fog s that filled the sky. From afar, it was unknown if it was the fluttering of the snow or the dancing of the snow on the ground.
After receiving Huangfu Song's emergency report, Yang Lin had brought over twenty thousand riders to the north. Each soldier was mounted on a few horses, carrying only enough rations for a few days' journey through the night and day.
Receiving Huangfu Song's emergency report really gave Yang Lin a shock, he never thought that when Zhang Bao was about to be annihilated, he would actually return to reality and even bite back, exterminating all of the remaining elites of the imperial court in one go. was almost exterminated as well.
However, Yang Lin didn't feel sorry for Huangfu Song, so it was time for the old fellow to rest. With the prestige of the imperial court, it was impossible to kill him. However, if he wanted to leave the mountain again, he was afraid that he would never get the chance to do so.
It was a pity that Zhang Bao, this idiot, had actually allowed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to escape. The heavens were truly unfair. They actually wanted these two fellows to live! Did they want all the people in the world to experience such a great calamity?
By the time Yang Lin rushed to the Guangzong, Huangfu Song had already escaped to the Weixian with the defeated soldiers, and Zhang Bao did not take over the Guangzong again. It turned out that the Guangzong City's supplies and supplies had all been transported by Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Lin Feng and Luo Yong to Guangyang City, and there were actually over 30,000 large carriages inside.
On the way, Yang Lin's cavalry encountered many refugees, and they were all citizens of the city that Zhang Ding had taken down. Zhang Bao's xanthopanax went all the way south, successively conquering six counties. If he allowed Zhang Bao to continue acting as he pleased, it was very likely that the xanthopanax would reignite the flame of death within him.
The current Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the two main forces of the elite army of the imperial government, were already crippled by the xanthopanax, and it was impossible for them to form an alliance with the xanthopanax.
”We must not let Zhang Bao cross the Yellow River.”
This was the unanimous decision of Yang Lin and the strategists. For the sake of the Darky Court, if Zhang Bao crossed the Yellow River, he would definitely cause chaos in the Central Plains. For the sake of the The people of the world, the citizens of the Central Plains could no longer withstand the war and needed a few years to recuperate. Considering his own strength, Yang Lin did not want to change the course of history and make history unfathomable just because of his arrival.
Yang Lin's cavalry finally reached the borders of Qing He County, and they also found traces of. According to the exorcism's report, Zhang Bao's exorcism was active in the Qing He County, it seems like Zhang Bao was not in a hurry to leave the Jizhou, it is possible that he did not place the officials of the imperial government in his eyes anymore.
”Master, the exorcism has come to report, Zhang Bao's xanthopanax is attacking the Qing He County city right now.”
”Instruction: Advance at full speed.”
With a wave of Yang Lin's spear, over ten thousand cavalrymen traversed the wilderness and rushed towards Qing He County City. Tens of thousands of horse hooves thudded on the snowy plains. The thundering sound of the horse hooves shook the entire land. The snowflakes in the sky became even denser, and soon covered the footprints of tens of thousands of horse hooves.
The cold wind whistled past Qing He County's city walls as strange cries came out. Beads of snow seeds mercilessly struck the faces of the city guards, causing them to shrink their heads, hands in sleeves, and continuously jump about on the ground.
A thick layer of ice had already formed on the walls of the Qing He County. That long blood ice flowed along the city wall and formed many ice blood column s, appearing exceptionally strange in the vast white snow.
Qing He County Zhou Biao frowned and jumped down from her horse. She walked to the side of the wall and looked anxiously at the xanthopanax outside the city. Right at his feet, there was a ball of blood that was slowly freezing.
Zhou Biao never expected that xanthopanax, who had already been annihilated by the imperial government, would suddenly appear. As a close neighbor of the Guangzong, he had always been paying attention to the situation of the battle in the Guangzong. He never thought that this Zhang Bao would actually be able to kill him.
Zhang Bao became very cunning this time. Before his army arrived, he had already sent the xanthopanax's elites to infiltrate the city. Zhou Border County County thought that xanthopanax had already been exterminated or driven out, so they didn't care and allowed a large number of xanthopanax's spies to sneak into the city.
